“Being Good Is Supposed To Be Easy” is a warming, melodic rocker from See Night, the project of Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Linda Sao. Released ahead of the project’s album Just Another Life, out in February, the single was written by Sao following the sudden death of someone close to her. Perspectives on love, loss, and regrets linger within a compelling production that succeeds across both spacious contemplation and fervent invigoration.
A textured, exhilarating guitar-fronted emotion takes hold immediately; crunchy warmness and melodic feedback intertwine with a glowing allure. The track traverses seamlessly into a crisper, melodic ferocity past the one-minute turn, then unveiling an understated vocal introspection. A title-bearing remark glides into jangling guitars; “where do you hide at the end of the day?” the lush vocals continue, artfully conveying fears and apprehension that comes with emotional uncertainties. “Being Good Is Supposed To Be Easy” is a gripping rock success from See Night.
